@kumailn "What if he wasn't a Muslim? Could That work?"
Pitch: A Movie/ TV ep that starts w a Muslim guy praying & then it turns out he's a normal guy & the story has nothing to do with terrorism.

@kumailn I've only ever seen this in the first episode of Skins (UK version). -
@kumailn@janesolomon Right, Anwar answers his phone while praying and gets thrown out, it's actually kind of amazing - View other replies

@MaraWritesStuff@kumailn@janesolomon can that be the new bechdel test? (along with the original still hella needing addressing of course) -
@hypercubexl@MaraWritesStuff@kumailn This is an excellent idea. What should it be called? -
@hypercubexl@MaraWritesStuff@kumailn And if it enters popular usage, I can add it to http://Dictionary.com (I'm a lexicographer there). -
@janesolomon@MaraWritesStuff@kumailn there's got to be a clever but respectful thing for this without it sounding like tvtropes -
@hypercubexl@MaraWritesStuff@kumailn Nothing like MPDGs, which@nathanrabin ultimately disowned.

@kumailn It’s a go. But they’re going to need a white actor as the lead Muslim. - View other replies

@kumailn it starts with a Pakistani Muslim praying to mecca and it's all spiritual/beautiful/intense and then cuts to him cleaning up vomit -
another pitch: black woman in silicon valley who isn't a stripper, just a techie like the rest
@kumailn -
@kumailn it's fuckin crazy that I wrote something that started this way and hadn't done the cliche math on how common the trope is
